Jake Paul has been told he would not be able to win a title in the PFL's "s**t's hard" league format system.
The YouTube star announced that he has signed a long-term deal with MMA promotion PFL to make his debut in the cage under their stewardship in 2024. Paul has limited experience in the cage but will train for several months with a view to competing next year alongside his thriving boxing career.
As part of the deal, Paul announced that he will compete in a newly launched 'super-fight' pay-per-view division next year to deviate from the traditional league format. And former UFC star Anthony Pettis, who suggested he would be open to training Paul previously, has claimed that Paul's ownership of the company could see him tread the best path possible in a newly created division.
